Books That Will Change Your Life (AKA: My favorite books)

Wild: Cheryl Strayed's journey of self was the pathway to MY journey of self. I get chills just writing this. You need this book if you're wondering what the fuck you should do with your life and need to feel alive.

Self Compassion: Kristen Neff is a self compassion researcher, and if you've ever struggled to love and be kind to yourself, this is where I recommend all clients start.

Brene Brown's Books are all life changing. She's a researcher on shame, and vulnerability here are my favorites from here:

Let It Out A Journey Through Journaling: I always wanted to be the kind of person who journaled, but it never felt authentic. Until I got Katie's book. She teaches you how to journal through 52 prompts in a way that is fun, simple, and meaningful. Learning how to do this in a way that feels right for me changed my life. I'm obsessed with journaling now and I can't share this book enough.

Eat Pray Love: Elizabeth Gilbert's journey through ending her marriage, and finding herself has touched the lives of women all over the world. Even those that haven't been married. I just can't get enough of the way she talks about life and love. It's raw, it's breathtaking, it hurts and it's everything I need always.

The Universe Has Your Back: This was one of the first books I read that totally shifted the way I trust myself and understood energy in a really digestible way. I learned how to move into a a place of love and out of fear—well, not so much out of fear, because fear will always be there, but into love.

Body Kindness: Holy shit, this book is my coaching bible. If you're a woman who wants to stop hating your body, or a coach who wants to help women stop hating their body—YOU NEED THIS BOOK.

When Things Fall Apart: You must read this. You must read this if your heart hurts. If you've ever experienced heartbreak. OR If you've ever felt pain. Pema teaches you how to stop running from pain, and when you learn this—it'll change your life.

Love Warrior: I am obsessed with Glennon Doyle. This book made me laugh, cry and feel deeply seen. Her story of love and connection, of living a true and honest life will help you feel less alone, and find your truth.

Podcasts:

That's So Retrograde: 2 LA based comedians bring on guests that talk about all things wellness, crystals, astrology, dating and life. I love this podcast so much.

Big Magic: Elizabeth Gilbert brings on guests who want to do big and powerful things in their lives but don't quite know how to make it happen. She brings on guest speakers like Glennon Doyle, and Brene Brown—it's everything.

Bucci Radio: If you're a female entrepreneur this podcast gives extremely valuable content. Especially to those in the fitness business realm.

Free Cookies: Kathryn Budig is a yoga teacher and her girlfriend Kate Fagan is an ESPN news anchor, together they interview people in wellness + athletes and I never thought I'd love a listening to anything remotely close to sports, but I love the way they intertwine the two. It helps they are both hilarious.

Let It Out: Katie Dalebout's podcast is phenomenal. She has really insightful conversations with people from all walks of life on everything. Business owners, food freedom coaches, dating coaches, yoga teachers. I mean she has everyone on there and these really long and beautiful conversations that make you feel like you're just sitting down with her and her guest chilling.
